> There are code paths through the mvn shell script that do not result in JAVA_HOME being exported if it is not set when entering the script. 
> I found this in 3.0.4 on MacOS X. JAVA_HOME gets set at line 117, but then is never exported, so the java process doesn't get the value. Based on reading the code, I see other paths through the script where JAVA_HOME is not exported even though it gets set by the script. 
> On the head, there are statements like the following (line 65):
> export JAVA_HOME=/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/CurrentJDK/Contents/Home
> This is not valid /bin/sh syntax.  /bin/sh does not allow the export to be on the same line where the environment variable is set. There are also paths on the head where JAVA_HOME is not exported when it is set.
